Utah: Imam loses appeal to be removed from terrorism watchlist

Nov 15, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

There is an ongoing effort to discredit and ultimately dismantle virtually all counterterror initiatives as “Islamophobic.” Who would be the beneficiary if this effort succeeded?

“Imam Loses Appeal of ‘Suspected Terrorist’ Watchlist Challenge,” Bloomberg Law, November 12, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The FBI didn’t violate a Salt Lake City imam’s constitutional rights by putting him on a terrorism watchlist it distributes to airlines and foreign governments, the Tenth Circuit ruled Nov. 12.

Yusuf Awadir Abdi’s lawsuit challenged his placement on the “selectee list,” a subset of the Terrorist Screening Database, which also includes the “no fly” list. The selectee list is a roster of “known or suspected terrorists” that the government also disseminates to banks, gun sellers, car dealers, and others.

Those on the list can fly, but only after “enhanced” screenings that often include secondary security inspections….

    If the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952 had been applied, this enemy barbarian would never have been accorded U.S. citizenship, which he received in 2010, according to the Deseret News. The Act, if implemented, would in all probability, and justifiably, led to his immediate return to his native Kenya. Now his wife and children have arrived, bringing their toxic and dangerous Islam with them, adding to the Muslim minions – Allah’s army – within our nation, carrying out Allah’s/Muhammad’s call for hijra.

      The McCarran-Walter Act of 1952 no longer applies since 1965. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 or the Hart–Celler Act, is a federal law passed by the 89th United States Congress and signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson.

      Muhammadans have not been declared an enemy and if barbarians were not allowed entry, most of us would not be here. Uncultured and brutish persons without education built and sacrificed for this nation to be a civilized nation; one which does not violate the informed consent of others. Marxists, Muhammadans, Nazis, and other coercive collectivists should not be allowed to enter civilization. They need to be declared an enemy of civilization.

      So, make a law against those who advocate blackmail, kidnapping, enslavement, torture, rape, robbery, and murder unarmed men, women, and children as Muhammad did. You should not call Muhammad your perfect model and be admitted to the US.

      Muslim is the politically correct [PC] term for Muhammadan. Islam is the PC term for #Muhammadanism. Sharia is the PC term for Muhammadan Law. Allah is the PC term for the satanic god of Muhammadanism. Muhammad made genocide and crimes against humanity a sacrament of Muhammadanism.

      HOWEVER, there is no law quarantining the US against Marxists, Muhammadans, Nazis, and other coercive collectivists. Your bogus claim there is such a law is fantasy no matter how much you WANT TO BELIEVE.

    Utah, with only a 3 million population, has an Imam on the terrorisim watchlist? And 11 Mosques, prayer rooms, and 1 Madrassa in just Salt Lake City?

    This is likely a surprise to most Utah citizens who will never read about this case. The two main Salt Lake City newpapers would never report it. The Deseret News, is controlled by the dominant religion, and The Salt Lake Tribune is the rag of the Left.

      As a Salt Lake City resident, I have been called Islamaphobic, I have ALWAYS been cautious and will remain so.

      • Westman says

        Nov 15, 2019 at 8:54 pm

        That seems wise. Am I missing something or has the downtown Salt Lake City been taken over by the Left? I think remember, years ago, Hannity debating Mayor Rocky Anderson. Mayor Biskupski’s voting record certainly looks leftist. Wiki says she won’t run again so another Dem will take her place? It must rankle the Mormon church to be surrounded in the city they founded by hostiles.

          SLC is extremely left and is controlled by the SLC Tribune and the alphabet TV networks were “all in” on zero borders.

          Since about 1/4 (or more) of the state population is in the Salt Lake City metro area, this presents a big problem.

      Utah resident here. You are 100% correct. I would say mathematically impossible, but you are 1000% correct.

    It is good news that he lost the case. The more they fight it, the stronger it needs to be.

    The neighbor on the other side of the fence who never complains about the fence, probably is no risk to one’s security. Those neighbors who seek every opportunity to tear down the fence, are a danger to everyone and not ‘true’ neighbors.

    He and all of his close friends and family and barracks attendees need to be “watched.”

    Shouldn’t every Muslim be put on a terrorism watchlist? Ditto for Neo-Nazis, KKK members, Antifa members, et al. After all, the respective belief system these losers adhere to most surely serves as an enemy of liberty—and America was founded above all on the principle of liberty, thus why should the worst major religion of all time, i.e., Islam, be given a pass? Stupid to do so.

    Muslims should not be given citizenship, period. Here’s the definition of a citizen from Wiktionary:

    “A legally-recognized member of a state, with associated rights and obligations.”

    The Muslims cling to the first part of that definition (their rights), but are not interested in the second part, their obligations to the state. That is because their true loyalty is to the universal ummah (the Muslim community).

    When Muslims are granted citizenship, the state is effectively seeding itself with disloyal elements and thus undermining its own future.

    ………………

    *Good*. That he is still free to preach violence is still insane, though.

    I object to a “terrorist watchlist” on principle.
    Either arrest him and give him his day in court, deport him (if he is not a citizen), or leave him alone until he does something for which he can be arrested and tried.

    • Norger says

      He is being “left alone;” he’s just on a “watch list” (e.g. if he wants to fly, he’s not prohibited from doing so, but is subject to extra scrutiny). He’s not being deprived of any rights. Surely you understand that it’s simply common sense for law enforcement to focus some of their limited anti-terrorism resources on persons who actually espouse terrorist views. If for example, the government wanted to intrude on the good imam’s private space to the point of tapping his phone, they’d need a warrant. I’m completely comfortable with the balance that has been struck here, which, morally speaking, is far more generous to the good Imam than he deserves.

    One need remember that L.D.S. prophet Joseph Smith fancied himself a latter day Mohammed, particularly relating to polygamy and persecution, to contextualize the relationship between the L.D.S. hierarchy, Islamic culture, and the active role of L.D.S. social services agencies in resettling Middle Eastern ‘refugees’ in Utah and Idaho. A detailed explanation can be found in “A Latter – Day Saint Perspective on Muhammed” by James A. Toronto at http://www.lds.org/ensign/2000/08/a-latter-day-saint-perspective-on-muhammed?/lang=eng

    EVERY single identified muslim should, by default, ALREADY be on the terrorist watchlist, just as a matter of perfunctory standard proceedure – by very reason of the clear and unequivocal murderous incitements to both terrorism, and the overthrow of the nation state, contained within this digusting depraved doctrine [islam] that they openly profess allegiance to [NO IFs, BUTs, or WHYs!]
    If I was a radical white supremacist nazi, who was openly professing my allegiance to both, A: a policy of murdering (by shooting, beheading, stabbing, blowing up, or by whatever means available) ALL non-whites/blacks,leftists, poofters, Jews, muslims, etc, wherever I find them; and B: a manifesto for the stealthy overthrowing of the state – by piecemeal increments – to eventually replace it with a nazi reich, I think it would be fair to say I most certainly would also be on the terrorist watchlist [at least I would hope that would be the case?!]
    So, what is so bloody different and sacrosanct about islam, that it (or any of it’s professing adherents) should have an apparent licence to propagate and profess EXACTLY THE SAME policy and incitements with total impunity to ‘the norm’ ??
    It remains a fact, EVERY muslim is a potential ‘Sudden Jihad Syndrome’ case (and should be viewed as such), at ANY given moment of ANY given day, they may suddenly act upon the incitements and commands in their stinking filthy qur’an to kill ALL the rest of us, wherever they can, however they can, whenever they can!

    Christ Jesus is Lord of all, how great is our God!!
